I don't think MPM was speaking of valve compression (valves with good "compression" don't leak). Instead, I thought he was speaking of the resistance that some horns give you by virtue of there design (leadpipe, bore size, bell size, bell flare, bracing, etc., etc. all have an impact here) and not whether the valves needed a rebuild. He was speaking about "horns that offer little compression" in the context of a "free blowing" horn.
